What is this checkbox labelled "kernelmode breaks (When possible)" for?
But isn't a DBVM‑level debugger supposed to run in ring0 or even ring‑1 —‑ the low‑level kernel mode by nature?
Does that mean it will resort to ring3 breaks if I leave it unchecked?

if checked it will try to break when IRQL is 0, but still you need to be careful with that as it is not guaranteed that the usermode GUI hasn't been locked in usermode.

unchecked it will always skip kernelmode breaks
